Island View Beachfront Resort is a small, design-conscious resort on the quiet white sand of Anda, far-eastern Bohol — around a dozen individually styled rooms on a private beach, with a pool and an on-site dive centre. It ranks at the top of Anda stays on the review sites. The appeal is an intimate, well-run escape on an unspoiled coast: spacious, individually decorated rooms, good food, and a private beach where guests snorkel and dive, far from Panglao’s crowds. The high ranking across a solid review base marks it as one of Anda’s best. The profile is couples, divers, and travellers seeking a boutique escape away from the busy west of the island. The trade-offs are the long transfer from Panglao and the tiny room count. ⚠️ VERIFY exact room count. Island View sits at Barangay Bacong in Anda, on the white-sand coast at the far-eastern end of mainland Bohol — well beyond the Panglao–Tagbilaran corridor, on a quiet, uncrowded beach. The seclusion is the point and the cost: Anda is a long drive from the airport and Tagbilaran, so this is a destination stay, not a touring base. Coordinates are not yet confirmed and must be resolved before upload.
